Code: VEW (official violation code)
Description: Same meaning as VECW: work without permit (elevator). Status: Active violation. Note: VEW* = violation was dismissed (resolved/closed).
Practical Meaning: There is a group of very similar codes. To avoid confusion, compare the related entries below: VECW → Violation: Work Without Permit (Elevator) VEW → Violation: Work Without Permit (Elevator). “VEW*” means the violation has been dismissed. VEWL → Violation: Work Without Permit (Elevator) with a lien VWL → Violation: Work Without Permit (Elevator) with a lien. “VWL*” means the violation has been dismissed.
Why It Matters: In practice, VECW and VEW mean the same thing. The difference is mostly internal coding style.
